The 5 Least Sexy Experiences Everyone Goes Through

Oh, hello. I didn't see you there, because I wrote this about a week before you're reading it and haven't quite polished seeing through time yet. When I do, I'll meet you in the shower. The naked shower. I'll be the guy from the future with the smirk.

Likely you're surprised to see me back here -- my firm, supple buttocks poised just so; my hilarious column free from Gladstone's taint (I use that word in every sense). Perhaps you're even wondering where I've been. Are you wondering that? Don't answer, I'll never know what you said, because I pay a Finnish man to answer all my mail with swears.

Assuming you have been wondering where I had gone, you're very much in luck, because I plan on telling you. I started working at Cracked for the same reason I left -- sweet sexings. Once I had reasonably established myself as a primo comedy seductress, I ventured out to be all the stud I could be. But let me be the first to assure you: That was a terrible idea. No one wants to make awkward, sweaty love to an Internet comedian. It did, however, give me time to reflect on those awful events in life that wick away your sexiness like moisture from a crotch, thanks to some advanced microfiber bikini briefs.

#5. Trauma

Physical crotch trauma is boner kryptonite, assuming your boner comes from space and is affected by the remnants of its exploded home world. It's one of the most real, immediate and awful ways your sexy time can be shut down faster than a Vatican City burlesque house. Like trying to flip an egg with a spatula that has been kicked in the nuts, trying to engage in sweet, seductive coitus with a wiener that has been kicked in the nuts is just not plausible. To the anecdotes!

While writing Internet comedy is my cool superhero job, my real world identity has seen me do some pretty shady things to make a buck. I worked at a Staples once. On purpose. Briefly. But other jobs required me to wear shirts and ties and to move about and interact with people in a human, normal way and not like a monstrous slave to a douche corporate leviathan run by sinister, greedy cave trolls.

One fine day while out and about on a job, I came to one of those nefarious stairways that serve to boggle the mind of travelers around the globe. A staircase of about four steps, each shallow and pointless and as wide as the mighty Mississippi. And the stairs were bisected by a metal banister forged by the hands of hell's own blacksmith.

They call him ... Larry.

Strutting along as I was, I didn't particularly notice the patch of water near the top of the step from errant rain, an impromptu floor washing or just a drooly fellow who had been standing there for too long. It doesn't matter why it was there, it was there. And I slipped on it. Like a wishbone on Thanksgiving torn between two slow-witted cousins, my legs went akimbo, each to one side of the banister. My testicles, wary of such blunt force trauma, quickly leaped to my innards. My poor, dumbfounded junk, however, had no idea what was coming for it.

I smashed the banister with enough force to cause me to yell, in an office building, the most fearsome string of obscenities I had ever set free. My wang bent like a hilarious twisty straw in a child's smoothie. Bent. What part of it bent? I don't know, whatever that stuff inside is that makes you have boners when it's not bent.

Gnome jelly?

You'll notice, if you have occasion to own a bent wiener, that a bent wiener is as useful as a Kardashian on the set of Jeopardy! On 364 other days of the year, this would barely be a problem, short of the painful urination and the twinge of anguish whenever something even close to arousal showed up, but as it happened, my Internet comedian's once annual sexing had just come up in the cosmic lottery.

Bent.

You cannot have sex with a bruised, bent wiener. You just can't. No matter how hard you try. And you will try so hard. The sad fact is that a steel banister is to sex what an angry raccoon is to bath time.

#4. Sickness

Being sick is rarely conducive to hot times, unless you're afflicted with hump fever, which can be contracted from South American monkeys and Soren Bowie. But there's a world of difference between "I have a sinus cold and just don't feel very into it right now" and "I hope nobody noticed but I just shit myself on the futon."

Getty"Look at the nail polish and not at my pants, look at the nail polish and not at my pants."

Before you ask, the answer is yes, I shit myself on a futon. But I was sick. You've done it too, right? Fuck it, I'm assuming yes.

You may wonder what possesses a man to not only shit himself on a futon, but to share that tidbit in a comedy article that will then be read by literally tens of you, many of whom are not my mom or Gladstone. Or Gladstone's mom. Hey, Mrs. G. S'up? Well, I'm nothing if not an educator, so my suffering is for your gain. Enjoy!

Normal sickness is just normal sickness and hardly worth writing about. To get to the kind of sickness that makes you reconsider being a sexual being at all and, more importantly, makes others reconsider you as a sexual being, you need a number of variables to fall into place at the same time, a perfect shitstorm, if you will. You're going to want to invest in a mild case of the flu mixed with some undercooked hot wings, and then try your hand at drinking a glass of milk followed by a glass of orange juice. Why would you do something like this? Because you're an idiot.

This is not the breakfast of champions.

Once you have all your ingredients together, basically all you need to do is mix them up in your intestines, lay down on the futon in someone else's basement as weakness and chills rack your body and wait for nature to say "Hey, why's your ass clenched so tight? Let's get to work back there."

The day you lose bowel control on someone else's furniture when you're neither drunk beyond belief nor a toddler is the day you realize that if anyone even agrees to be in the same room with you ever again you're a lucky fella.

GettyIt's also the day you realize adult diapers aren't just for the elderly.

#3. She's Not the One

You would think that pair bonding is the sort of thing that leads to sexy feelings. You're in a relationship, you've seen each other naked, no one needs therapy or Gravol, things are good. You are wrong.

If the divorce rate hasn't convinced you that being in a relationship does not necessarily indicate any degree of happiness or sexual satisfaction, let it also be known that the wrong relationship can shatter your libido as surely as a banister shattering your crank.

Getty"I'm just pooping with the door open while flossing my teeth. Up for some sex?"

Obviously, determining that a relationship isn't working takes people some time (that's why there's so many piss-poor relationships out there), but a good sign you've grossly misjudged how things are going to work out for you is photographic evidence of excrement. Did I just make two entries in the same sex article about poop? Sure did.

Without being too explicit, I will tell you this -- I have been on the receiving end of an email that contained photographs of shit. The person sending me these pictures was neither my older brother nor a college buddy who thought this would be drunkenly hilarious. It was an ex-girlfriend who was, to the best of my knowledge, mostly female and everything.

GettyThis is only considered romantic in Germany.

When a girl sends you a photo of her shit, complete with a story about how proud she was of said shit, it's time to be single. You will also question every sexual encounter you may have had up to that point and start wondering what other gross stuff may have been going on that you never knew about. Stuff that you may have gotten on you without even realizing it. Stuff that could still be in your house to this day, because who knows? How often do you scrub the ceilings? Stuff could be up there.
